| Abstract | Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD) studies of monolayers of biomolecules atthe air-water interface give quantitative information of in-plane packing, coherence lengths ofthe ordered (diffracting) domains and orientation of hydrocarbon chains of the model membranes. Rheo-GIXD measurements revel quantitative changes in the monolayer under shear.Here we report GIXD studies of monolayers of Alamethicin peptide, DPPC lipid and theirmixtures at the air-water interface under the application of steady shear stresses. The Alamethicin monolayer and the mixed monolayer show flow jamming transition. On the other hand,pure DPPC monolayer under the constant stress flows steadily with a notable enhancement of1arXiv:1908.00228v1 [cond-mat.soft] 1 Aug 2019area/molecule, coherence length, and the tilt angle with increasing stress, suggesting fusion ofdomains during flow. The DPPC-Alamethicin mixed monolayer shows no significant changein the area/DPPC molecule or in the DPPC chain tilt angle but the coherence length of bothphases (DPPC and Alamethicin) increases suggesting that the domains of individual phasesaremergingtobiggersizepromotingmoreseparationofphasesinthesystemduringflow. Ourresults show that Rheo-GIXD has the potential to explore in-situ molecular structural changesunder rheological conditions for a diverse range of confined biomolecules at the interfaces. |
